Unfortunately I left for good ol’ Cortland before I got to work the Jet-Giant preseason game. So I was not their to witness Giants DE Osi Umenyiora grip his knee in the second quarter. Apparently, Osi was carted off the field, but Giants fans had a sigh of relief when it was made public that Osi’s x-rays were negative. Well now G-Men nation can start freaking out because Osi Umenyiora is OUT FOR THE SEASON!
No details are being leaked at all. I have no info about what type of injury it is, but count on surgery being involved. Once I know more it will be posted here.
UPDATE: From ESPN.com,
“Umenyiora was hurt in the second quarter of Saturday’s preseason game against the New York Jets, but early indications were that there was no ligament damage.
However, an MRI Sunday found a torn lateral meniscus, Dr. Russell Warren told the team. The two-time Pro Bowl choice will have surgery Tuesday and be sidelined for the season.”
